Battle of the rerun party hacks would probably get less than 20 million total votes combined, nobody on either side really likes these people anymore. It would be a good year for 3 parties though, heck one might actually win.

Jeb is not worth my vote. Hillary is not worth the air she uses.

How about an all NJ ticket featuring Chris Christie and Christie Whitman?

Christie2!

(I just made myself throw up a little in my mouth...)

I don’t think anyone could improve on the sarc/Nightmare Scenario of dream tickets as you just laid them out.

I’ve already decided to stop voting for national (because the GOP won’t give us candidates worth a damn) and state (because Mexifornia is now under one-part rule) offices. Talk of Jeb Bush being the Pubs’ nominee in ‘16 is doing nothing to make me reconsider that decision.

Allen West was voted out. He’s got 4 years to work on getting a third party together.

If the GOP run Jeb, I’m out.

Gross.

Truly, a random national lottery selection is more attractive.

If this is true, then the ticket would automatically lose the NJ electorial votes.

“The Fourth Estate working on conservative defeat 2016 already.”

It worked for the last two cycles. No reason to quit now.

We had dinner with some old friends last night. We tried to stay away from politics because we don’t agree. Finally, he made the comment that he couldn’t understand how Romney could pick that radical Ryan. He said it terrified him to think that he would be a heartbeat away from the presidency. I was astounded. I said “come on, you prefer crazy,off the rails Biden”, he said “but Joe’s a statesman”. This a very successful guy with his own business. This is what we’re up against.

Exit polls showed that many voters are still blaming Bush 2 for the economy.

Does the GOP want to lose AGAIN?

If they think ‘it is Jeb’s turn’ in 2016, they are going to lose.

The Bush name has tainted politics for the next 50 years.

Let him run. He wouldn’t make it through the first rounds of the primaries.

I think the GOP should find a community organizer who won a state senate seat by getting their competition removed from the ballot.

The GOP could aggressively promote that person for a US senate seat in 2014 and have that person ready for a 2016 Presidential run.

Eggs—damn well—zaktly what is wrong!!! The same damned names keep cropping up!

There is a fatal lack of imagination among the “political class”.

After expending effort to go vote for McCain and Romney,despite the fact that GA is not a swing state and firmly GOP, if it’s Jeb Bush in 2016 I’ll be staying home on election day.

After Benghazi, Hillary Clinton is toast.


Agreed, it will be Andrew Cuomo.

The newsmedia is already trying to pick the GOP nominee now...we MUST push back at the media and the GOP elites to stop this kind of thing...if that means we all utterly abandon the GOP for a formal political party known as the Tea Party or we all move to the Libertarian Party....this has to stop....

I also like Rubio but wonder why Romney didn’t pick him for the VP spot.


Probably a strategic decision made by the GOP and Rubio himself to prepare for 2016 should R&R fail to get elected.

Maybe Jeb can do what Romney could not.
Get all the moderate and independents on both sides.
He will need to
because this Tea Partier WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ANOTHER BUSH.
